hey what is going on guys lon here from Android Authority and we are still here at CES 2015 hanging out at the blue booth and this is the life one and the life one excel now before I get started with this quick hands-on they're both they're both basically the same phone here with the exception of the size so I'm gonna focus more specifically on the life one excel here so I'm gonna set this off to the side really quick and starting off with the design here it has some nice curvature to it on the top and the bottom and it's also relatively thin and it feels great in the hand it is a big phone obviously the life one is the one you're gonna want to get if you want a smaller device but even with the XL it still feels really great in the hand despite being how large it is and the reason why it's as big as it is is because of the display you're looking at a 5.5 inch display here on the XL within in comparison to the five inch display on the regular life one both displays come and come in at 720p resolution and obviously you're gonna get a little bit better pixel density on the smaller life one but even on the larger life one XL here it still looks pretty good that's very colorful very bright the viewing angles are good and overall it actually still looks pretty sharp a melodias only 720p now just to go over some of the other specs real quick here it is running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 which is a 64-bit processor it's clocked at 1.2 gigahertz and it is a quad core processor as well and then along the back here you're looking at a 13 megapixel camera with a flash and then along the front you'll find the 5 megapixel camera which should allow you to take some pretty decent looking selfies if you're into that sort of stuff the phone does come with eight gigabytes of internal memory and one gigabyte of RAM but if you if eight gigabytes is not enough for you it does come with microSD card for up to 64 gigabytes of additional storage now as far as the operating system goes you're looking at Android 4.4 KitKat and as you can tell here it's very lightly skinned yours there's not a whole lot a whole lot of stuff going on here as far as customization so it's relatively stock Android experience and I'll go ahead and show you that it is indeed android 4.4 kitkat and as you can see there's not too many things here that blue has added with this phone here and you can see right there it's running on 4.4.4 kitkat and hopefully we'll see an update to lollipop relatively soon now as far as connectivity you're looking at LTE and it will be compatible on all GSM carriers so you can use this on t-mobile and AT&T and as far as availability goes you're looking at a March timeframe for one $79.99 for the smaller life one and one $99.99 for the larger life one excel here and it'll it'll be available directly through Amazon so you'll be able to purchase this fairly easily but this has been a quick hands-on of the life one and life one excel by blue we're still here at CES hanging out it's the last day so stay tuned for the rest of the coverage that we have coming and as always keep it locked here on Android authority because we are your source for all things Android and CES 2015
